    your right, my bad, but the point is, he played with zetterberg (It was in the NLA) and he demanded far too much for what he was worth. especially for an orginization like the wings where Loyalty gets you everywhere,

    Cleary is going to Detroit, despite earlier reports days ago linking him to sign with Philly

    Grumble... I assume that means the Wings are trading away three guys today or tomorrow. The Wings are now $2 million over the cap with 16 forwards signed. I am not thrilled about this. Especially considering if they opened up another $.5 million they probably could have resigned Brunner.

    yeah i don't know whats going on with resigning cleary.

    as far as brunner goes, let him go suck up a minor contract in the swiss league, realize its better in d-town and come back next year with a more...reasonable offer after we give alfie his one year.

    Cleary stated he had a change of heart. And no I don't think Holmgren realizes how idiotic that contract offer was.

    We're going to lose Tatar is exactly what is going to happen. There is no way to get that guy on the roster now unless by some miracle of god they can move Bert, Sammy, Tootoo, and Emmerton. Fucking terrible signing by the Wings.

    I would think after all he has done you Wings fan would just trust Holland at this point. The fact that he has been able to structure a playoff team every single year since he got the job, I would think that he thinks he is doing what is in the best interest for the Wings. And what he thinks is good for the Wings, seems to be right most of time given the success they have had.

    Tatar looks like he's going to be fucking solid in 1-2 years, too... maybe even this season.

    The realization that like the last time a player going into a contract year won them the Cup in net, they got crappy goaltending for a few years afterwards.

    Ya, but it's not like the same goalie wound up playing poorly afterwards...

    First look at Ramo was as expected, got lit up by the split squad up in Edmonton. Berra came in halfway through and cleaned up, the boys turned a 5-2 going into the 3rd into a shootout win. Preseason hockey LOL, I hope the Oilers still suck this year >:V

    Don't count on it. Eakins is going to be a hardass on those boys and give them proper coaching techniques. He is a defensive first coach but knows how to make use of offensive players. If they can pick up some experience through trades on the blue line, they will be a playoff team so long as their goaltending is decent.

    Man, Kadri's goal in the first period was freaking delicious, that kid can has some great hands and can toe drag and dangle with the best.
